Ingredients
500 g short pasta (penne, maccheroni, fusilli)
200 g mozzarella
100 g ricotta
200 g béchamel sauce
2 tablespoons grated cheese
200 g frozen broccoli
Extra virgin olive oil, as needed
Salt, as needed
Pepper, as needed
Preparazione
Let the broccoli thaw at room temperature.
Cook the pasta for half of the time indicated on the package, since it will finish cooking in the oven together with the other ingredients.
Cut the mozzarella and the broccoli into small cubes.
Fold the mozzarella and broccoli into the pasta. Add the béchamel sauce as well.
In a baking dish, create a first layer of pasta, add 2–3 teaspoons of ricotta and cover with a few spoonfuls of béchamel sauce and more pasta. Once all the ingredients have been used, cover the last layer with plenty of béchamel sauce, a few cubes of mozzarella and grated cheese. Add a knob of butter on the surface and bake.
Bake at 180°C for 35 minutes, finishing the cooking under the grill setting to create a golden, slightly crispy top.
